The Urban dictionary defines the word ‘Lituation’ as; “A lit situation. Something can be a ‘lituation’ if its lit, and it’s a situation” it is also defined as “A culmination of several lit things happening at once, or a moment of joyous, euphoric happiness”.
This Rotary year has seen Rotary-Lang’ata in a real lituation situation. The Rotary Club of Nairobi- Langata is not only Lit (fire!), but the October and November months literally saw RCL set ablaze with fires everywhere. Smoking!
As part of the Family of Rotary (FoR) initiative to keep each Rotary member accounted for and regularly checked up on, we have seen the birth of the following seven (7) lit crews.
These groups are made up of members who live in the same general region. They have truly lit the fire of the Rotary spirit of fellowship and fun. This has increased the bonding, networking and overall wellbeing of each Rotarian. Despite COVID19, we have found a way to stay connected
